Noise pop from New Jersey
Recording under the moniker since 2015, Molly Ringworm is like "Breeders meets Liz Phair to go to lunch with Pavement." Sarah, Johnny, Andrew and Michael pair nuanced narratives with dynamic arrangements, and pop melodies with noisy chaos.
Ringworm began collaborating with Kidokoro Records founder Oscar Suh-Rodriguez in 2020, releasing their Seems EP in March 2022. Despite being recorded remotely during the course of the pandemic, the 20-minute track list manages to deliver the quartet's wagon-sized sound and sharp songwriting.
Their debut album, Perfect Dog, is out October 24, 2025. Recorded live at Retromedia Studios over the course of the last year, Perfect Dog’s main theme is control: attempting to harness it, and realizing when you need to let it go.
